My thoughts have been guided towards this subject of late. Since I can't divulge the conversations between my heart and mind, I leave you with the words of those who have been able to do so of theirs.
It is the soul's duty to be loyal to its own desires. It must abandon itself to its master passion.
-Rebecca West
Do what you love. Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still.
-Thoreau
Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion, history, romance and art would be useless.
-Balzac
Passions unguided are for the most part mere madness.
-Thomas Hobbes
Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.
-W.J. Bryan
Waste no more time talking about great souls and how they should be. Become one yourself!
-Marcus Aurelius

Who I Am
- Crystal DC
- Imagine a little fuzzy headed girl standing in a pair of shiny black shoes. Her socks have lace around the edges, the kind that happens to match the fringes of her polka dotted dress. Her eyes close and tighten into squints that bring her lips into a grin. Her head tips back while her arms reach out and levitate at right angles from her torso. She begins to twirl. Her feet dance the circle round and round again on the pavement. The wind picks up under her dress. She can feel the fabric rising from around her shins and calves. She loves it. She believes herself to be flying. That little girl is me! I love life! And I live it the only way I know how, with my eyes closed and my arms out in faith.
